Would you rather be in a space suit, all alone, drifting in space or on a breathing-friendly rogue planet in the pitch black? Either way, no one is coming for you but at least the HUD will keep you company while you die. On the other hand, you can stretch your legs on the planet (which, for nitpicking, has enough low-key geothermal activity to keep you warm despite having no nearby star)

would probably spend 5 minutes before the planet killed me, i’d just run. maybe walk. probably bump into something. maybe fall. maybe lie down. scream. hug the planet. anything is better than being stranded.

Starlight might give you a horizon, but I agree. I'd trip and die within minutes. If there was ever water, it's ice by now. If there were ever soft vegetation, it's gone. I'd definitely scream just to see what it does. Maybe invent the most advanced form of echolocation that planet has ever seen
